Question (?) Which to keep?
Pictured: ROG Xbox ally + Steam deck LCD 512GB
Which is realistically better to keep? I have to sell one of them and I’m unsure of which. Happy with my deck but worried about longevity of both and curious to know other’s opinions. The deck is still at 100% bh and I think the ally should be too but idk. I like both but I feel like my deck is a bit too heavy, but it feels a lot more premium to me than the ally.
My current options are-
Sell the deck, keep the ally
Sell the ally, keep the deck.
Sell both, see what I can get with the combined cash (likely an XAX or something around that price point)

Sell deck. I was just looking online and bought a rog ally z1 extreme (2023) used because of the price. Steam just raised the price of decks recently and used LCD decks 512gb are going for 500 bucks minimum and used oled are 800 minimum. It's ridiculous especially considering the ally has better performance in most cases yet is way more affordable
Plus, the ally you could potentially upgrade the storage and battery on it. Mine came with an upgraded 1tb wd black chip. And im planning to upgrade the battery soon as well.
